What Is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that creates realistic hair-like strokes in the brow area. Using a specialized handheld tool with an ultra-fine blade, pigment is carefully implanted into the upper layers of the skin to mimic natural eyebrow hairs.
Unlike traditional eyebrow tattoos, microblading is designed to create a softer, more natural finish because each stroke is individually placed to blend with your existing brow hair. The result is a beautifully enhanced brow that still looks like you.
Microblading is ideal for clients who:
- Have sparse or thinning brows
- Have over-tweezed brows and want a fuller shape
- Want improved symmetry and balance
- Desire a fuller, more defined brow
- Want to reduce daily makeup time
- Are looking for a semi-permanent solution

What to Expect During Your Microblading Appointment
Collaborative Brow Design Consultation
Your appointment begins with a collaborative consultation where you and Brandi design brows that feel authentic to you.
Brandi takes time to understand your goals, answer your questions, and learn the look you want to achieve. She evaluates your facial features and bone structure, then carefully maps your ideal brow shape using precise measurements to ensure balance, symmetry, and proportion.
You are fully involved throughout the process. This is the ideal time to ask questions, share inspiration photos, and refine your preferences so you feel confident and excited before moving forward.
Numbing for Your Comfort
A medical-strength topical anesthetic is applied to maximize comfort throughout your procedure. We allow time for it to fully take effect before beginning so you remain relaxed and comfortable.
Most clients arrive feeling nervous and are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the experience feels. The sensation is typically very mild – often described as light scratching or pressure. Many clients relax so much from the numbing that they fall asleep during the appointment.
The Microblading Procedure
Every beautiful set of brows begins with thoughtful design. Brandi carefully evaluates your facial features, bone structure, natural brow growth, and skin tone before mapping your ideal shape using precise measurements and advanced design techniques.
Together, you refine the shape, thickness, arch, and style until you feel completely confident. Your pigment is then custom blended using Brandi’s extensive experience to ensure it heals into a soft, natural tone.
Before any procedure begins, your brows are fully drawn on for approval. Nothing moves forward until you feel confident and excited about the design.
Brandi’s philosophy is simple: permanent makeup should never feel rushed. It should feel intentional, customized, and completely aligned with your vision.
Final Review & Aftercare
Together, we review your new brows from all angles to ensure you love the shape, balance, and final result. We also go over detailed aftercare instructions so you feel fully supported during healing, and you will leave with clear written aftercare guidelines for easy reference.
The total appointment time is approximately 1 to 2 hours.

Is Microblading Painful?
Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the procedure feels. A medical-strength topical numbing cream is applied before and throughout treatment to minimize discomfort.
The sensation is typically described as light scratching or gentle pressure – some clients compare it to light threading. Many are so relaxed during the appointment that they are able to rest or fall asleep.
If you have a low pain tolerance, additional numbing can be applied as needed during your appointment.
Healing Timeline: What to Expect After Microblading
Days 1–3: Darker and More Defined
It is completely normal for your brows to appear darker immediately after your appointment. Color may appear up to 30 percent darker as the skin begins to heal. Over the following days, the top layer of skin naturally exfoliates, revealing a softer healed tone underneath while maintaining definition.
Days 4–10: Light Flaking and Peeling
Light flaking or peeling is a normal part of the skin’s natural renewal process. It is important not to pick or scratch the area, as this can affect pigment retention. Keep the area clean and avoid excess moisture as directed. Brows may appear lighter or slightly uneven during this stage, which is expected.
Weeks 2–4: Color Settles
The color begins to soften and settle into its true healed tone, and any redness or swelling is fully resolved. Brows start to look more natural and balanced as the pigment stabilizes. Most normal activities can be resumed, including light makeup and sunscreen – avoiding direct brow application.
Week 6: Touch-Up Appointment
A follow-up appointment is scheduled approximately 6 weeks after your initial session. Brandi evaluates healing, refines any areas where pigment has softened unevenly, and perfects the final shape if needed. This touch-up is included and is essential for achieving long-lasting, even, and refined results.
